Like countless other young Americans, Honey Boo Boo has been selling Girl Scout cookies. To her hundreds of thousands of fans online, and the chagrin of the Girl Scouts of the USA. Honey Boo Boo posted the above ad on her Facebook page, which has 701,000 likes. She also drew the organization’s ire by posting photos of stacks of boxes she sold. HBB is not selling the cookies for herself, it’s worth nothing, but for a friend. Nevertheless, to say didn’t go down well with the organization is an understatement. A rep for GSUSA in Georgia, where young Alana Thompson lives, tells TMZ they contacted her site’s administrator and explained that this is off-limits . No good deed – or massive cookie sale – goes unpunished, as they say. Using Facebook and the like “defeats the whole purpose of selling the cookies,” such as teaching the girls about setting goals, working with people, etc. The sales she’s already WILL count, but if HBB wants to help her BFF from now on, she’s gonna have to set up shop outside Walmart like everyone else. That or go door to door. Maybe June Shannon or Poodle can drive? NOTE : It’s unclear what her biggest seller was among the GSC brands. Thin Mints are the best, right? What are your favorite types of Girl Scout Cookies? NOTE #2 : They’re no GSC, but this chocolate chip cookie recipe is dope. Seriously. It’ll hold its own with Samoas and the like any day of the week.
If you’ve read The Bachelor spoilers , you know who Sean Lowe picks. If you want to read about Sean in celebrity gossip tabloids, you can take your pick: The Bachelor hunk is on the cover of all of them this week! Seriously: With interest in the show’s 17th season peaking in advance of the March 4 Women Tell All special and March 11 finale, there are two obvious angles here: The final two women, Catherine Giudici and Lindsay Yenter, are liars He’s just a sweet guy who’s torn between both of those sweet girls In any case, he’s typically shirtless. Us promises in its cover story this week that Lowe is torn, and “after telling both ladies ‘I love you,’ Sean gives one a ring and the other a broken heart.” Knock us over with a feather. Meanwhile, OK! says Sean really, really is in love with Lindsay and Cat, is “not faking this for the cameras” and is facing an “excruciating decision.” In Touch tries a different approach, boasting, “Bachelor Sean tricked by their lies. Behind their sweet smiles, the Bachelor girls are not what they seem.” “Gold diggers obsessed with fame; Turned off by his ‘virginity’; A DUI, secret pasts, actresses pretending to be in love. Did he choose the wrong one?” LOLOLOL. ITW wins on style points. He’s even on the inset of two other covers: Life & Style, where he can’t wait for a wedding, and Star, which has him hilariously cheating with Emily Maynard . Good times in celebrity gossip.
“Mantasia” himself, Joshua Ledet, led off American Idol’s Top 13 with a rendition of Stevie Wonder’s “I Wish” that he said was “totally out of my comfort zone.” With a little help from a piano player with a gospel background similar to Joshua’s, you wouldn’t have known it Wednesday night. He did a nice job with it. A pretty safe performance, perhaps, but a respectable one. “You just wore it out, at the top of the show,” Randy Jackson, never one to exaggerate at all, tells him. “You’ve got this amazing Church of God in Christ kind of voice … If you feel the beat and rock like that, you can sing anything.” Watch Josh Ledet perform below and see if you agree: Joshua Ledet – “I Wish” (American Idol Top 13)
Skylar Laine says she’s actually never sung a Whitney Houston song before. With “Where Do Broken Hearts Go,” she may have done the late icon justice. To be sure, Skylar Laineis no Whitney Houston … or even Jessica Sanchez . However, American Idol often rewards the underdog who strays out of his or her genre and picks up unfamiliar or challenging material quickly. She doesn’t sound like Whitney, but Skylar is who she is, and that’s formidable – a country girl who has proved she can sing anything. Take a listen: Skylar Laine – “Where Do Broken Hearts Go” (American Idol Top 13)
Ellen DeGeneres has – to quote Chris Treager from Parks & Recreation – litch-rally inserted herself into the ongoing reality TV cat-fight that is The Bachelor . In a funny new video, the talk show host splices actual footage from the Monday’s confrontational Women Tell All special and puts herself in the hot seat. Much like the controversial Courtney Robertson was in real life, Ellen finds herself on the defensive amid a barrage of allegations, name-calling and worse. Costumed like a stereotypical Bachelor girl, sporting sparkling earrings and an equally glittering jacket, she admits she was there for the wrong reasons. “I really did come here to make friends,” Ellen says. “I was not here for Ben. I mean, let’s face it, I was here for the girls.” Watch the hilariousness below: Ellen on ‘The Bachelor: The Women Tell All’
It’s normally a chance for the rejected bachelorettes to confront the man that sent them packing, but it was primarily Courtney Robertson in the hot seat and under fire on The Bachelor: Women Tell All episode Monday night. The women wasted no time in criticizing Robertson, calling her a villain, a phony, a grouch, a two-faced fame-seeker and pretty much an awful human being overall. And that was all before she even took the stage! Then it got worse: Courtney Robertson on The Women Tell All Not only was Courtney slammed – politely but forcefully – by third and fourth place finishers Nicki Sterling and Kacie Boguskie (probably the two nicest people ever), her former rival Emily O’Brien absolutely owned her ass Monday. Crocodile tears or not, Courtney was definitely crying up there. Surprisingly (or not, for a master manipulator), she chose to apologize, saying, “I’m sorry. I take it all back. Looking back, I’m really sorry I hurt all of your feelings.” “You may say it’s not genuine but it is,” she said. Mmm hmm. The Bachelor himself, Ben Flajnik, was only featured at the very end, starting off his not-even-10-minute segment by saying “welcome to my nightmare.” Doesn’t exactly bode well for his chances with Courtney, or Lindzi. Whoever Ben picks on the season finale next week (see our Bachelor spoilers page for more info on that oft-discussed topic), he’s not looking too pleased with life now. You tell us: Courtney Robertson on The Bachelor …

Say hello to Maxton. Sources tell Us Weekly that Eddie Murphy and Toni Braxton are not merely dating, but are ” very into each other.” The relationship reportedly got underway four months ago. Murphy (who has nine children by five women) and Braxton (who has two kids with ex Keri Lewis) are “serious” this insider adds, as the Tower Heist star cheered on the singer backstage at her February 19 concert in Los Angeles. Murphy was linked in the 1980s to Whitney Houston, but more recently dated Melanie Brown and Tracey Edmonds, exchanging vows in 2008 with the latter in a “symbolic” ceremony that was never made legal.

Everyone is just assuming Courtney Robertson wins The Bachelor. Heck, Us Weekly ‘s new cover story blatantly states that Ben Flajnik proposed to the model – a claim that we won’t find out for sure until Monday, March 12. The Bachelor spoilers have a lot to say on that very subject, but because they have been wrong before, you have to treat this as what it is: Pure speculation. Not that it’s hard to believe. According to Us, Flajnik gets down on one knee on the season finale, but has since soured on his final rose recipient/fiancee. The celebrity news magazine claims that: Ben was “caught” with three girls in one weekend … which likely means he was hanging out with other women and photographed with them. Seeing that Ben’s unable to go near Courtney (or Lindzi Cox ), that’s not a shock. He’s embarrassed by Courtney Robertson (that part we can believe, given that he’s gotten to watch the entire season of The Bachelor along with us). Courtney cries on the Women Tell All special (that too). Us ‘ new issue, out today, will surely reveal more vague, unsourced details of his alleged transgressions, but until then, tell us: Who you THINK he SHOULD pick?
